Liquid biopsies have emerged as a minimally invasive diagnostic tool, analyzing tumor-derived materials circulating in biological fluids to offer valuable information for cancer diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. While tissue biopsies and imaging techniques remain standard in solid tumor diagnosis, liquid biopsies present an alternative or complementary approach, addressing some of the limitations and risks associated with traditional methods.
Key applications of liquid biopsy testing in clinical oncology include:
1. Early Detection and Diagnosis/Screening:
- Identifying cancer at an early stage.
2. Alternative Testing Method:
- When tissue biopsy is challenging or impossible.
- When the primary site of metastatic disease is unknown.
3. Therapy Personalization and Monitoring:
- Molecular characterization to select optimal therapy.
- Monitoring treatment efficacy and adjusting therapy in case of resistance.
4. Disease Monitoring:
- Observing disease progression, tumor evolution, residual disease.
- Early detection of recurrence.
5. Prognosis of Disease:
- Assessing the likely course and outcome of the disease.
